Breaking change
#54865 secured that homeassistant.log was backed up, by using .rotate() however it has the side effect that logging continues in the new file.
Go back to the original #54865 and use .doRollover() this renames homeassistant.log to homeassistant.log.1 and open a new file homeassistant.log
This means that homeassistant.log is the current (active/open) log, and homeassistant.log.1 is from last start of hass.
If log_rotate_days us used there will be multiple files (.1 .2 ... until log_rotate_days) each log will be either a midnight change or a start of hass.
